Bought this after a miserable cold,rainy 10 mile race. Vowed to find a jacket to keep that from happening again. This jacket fits the bill, feels a little bit snug, but not any tighter that running gear.

It's warm and cuts the wind down. Only used this in "light" rain, with positive results!All in all, I love this jacket.

i was looking for a casual black jaket to wear everyday and it never occured to me that i should try a running jacket. i was glad to find that brooks makes jackets in black. i have several of their products and i love all of them so i didnt hesitate to order. since i was concerned with people stating a snug fit, i ordered M and L ( i am slightly skinngy dude, 5'10", 160). for me, the M was the perfect fit. this is not a baggy loose fitting jacket. also, i think if you have a muscular build, it could be snug.

anyhow, i love this jacket as my everyday jacket. it's light and warm b/c it keeps the wind out. it offers just enough breathability b/c of the opening along the shoulder blades. i live in socal and i think i could wear this most of the year. when this wears out, ill be buying another.

typically, brooks is pricier than most brands. i feel b/c they are at the top of the game, it is somewhat justified. this jacket can be an viewed as expensive for what it is. it is essentially an outer shell. however, b/c i literally wear this everyday i think it was/is worth it.

I wanted a waterproof jacket for running in wet weather. This works exactly as I hoped and is quite comfortable. I can wear this over a short and long sleeve shirt to run when it is snowing in the winter. Some people commented that the sizes run small, this is not the case I got a L and it fits great.
